Zahrada Nebozízek, Garden on Petřín Hill in Prague, Czech Republic.
Zahrada Nebozízek is a garden on Petřín Hill in Prague, accessible from Újezd Street and the adjacent Seminářská Garden. The site features winding pathways that lead in different directions and open up various vantage points throughout the area.
The area was part of vineyards owned by the Knights of the Cross during medieval times, with the first recorded mention dating from 1433. The site was later converted into a public garden and has shaped the appearance of the hill ever since.
The name comes from spiral-shaped paths that resemble drill bits, reflecting the Czech word nebozez for this tool. The winding routes still shape how visitors move through the garden today.
The garden is easiest to reach by the funicular railway, which connects the Újezd district to the upper areas of Petřín Hill. From there, visitors can explore the different entrances and take time to wander the winding paths.
The garden contains several sculptures, including a monument to Czech poet Karel Hynek Mácha, positioned along the steep hillside paths. These artworks are scattered throughout different areas, creating unexpected moments while exploring the grounds.
